I LOVE roosters’ crowing in the morning! There used to be one out here where we live but either it died or coyotes got it. I miss that beautiful sound.

I like the sounds of farm animals and birds in the morning as well. In warm weather, I keep my bedroom windows open just so I can hear them.

Typically roosters will only crow in middle of the night when they sense a predator in the area. They are warning their flock of potential coyotes or foxes, etc .

Sounds like this is more of a predator problem than a rooster problem.

We have a number of animals around our house. My favorite is the elk in the fall. We can hear their bugle as we lay in bed and the occasional clashing antlers during the rut.

When I was a boy, our house had no AC do everyone slept with the window open to catch a breeze from the (hopefully) cool night air. Unfortunately, my room was on the back of the house nearest the chicken coop. It’s not so great when the rooster starts crowing at 3:30 a.m.

We have a neighbor with a rooster, but his house is about a third of a mile away from ours, and anyway I’m usually up when it crows.

This story is from Singapore, where the housing is much more densely packed than in most of America, including where I live. Whether it’s illegal or not there I can’t say, but simply imposing the crowing on others was very ill-mannered, it seems to me.

To the owner’s credit (helps to read the article of course), he did get rid of the noise one way or the other after the author (anonymously) complained.

That's pretty much the same thing.
